EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical illustration captures the essence of merriment and laughter in a bygone era. Entitled "Leather Bottel" this song illustration is taken from the renowned book "Pan-Pipes, A Book of Old Songs" published in London in 1884. Created by Walter Crane, a prominent artist of his time, this colour lithograph showcases his exceptional talent for storytelling through art. The image depicts a jovial scene filled with humor and cheerfulness. In the foreground, we see a group of people gathered around a table adorned with glasses and decanters. Their merry expressions reflect their enjoyment as they raise their glasses to toast. The central figure, possibly a cavalier or nobleman, holds up an oversized leather bottle while singing along to the traditional English folk song. Crane's intricate design transports us back to the 17th century when such songs were immensely popular among social gatherings. This humorous composition pays homage to the invention of the leather bottle, which was widely used for storing liquor during that time. With its vivid colors and lively characters, this print evokes nostalgia for simpler times filled with music and camaraderie. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an important piece of social history that celebrates tradition and revelry.
